Strongest engine for iOS

Post by h1a8 »

What’s the strongest engine that can be used for analysis in iOS?
There are several apps containing stockfish. Although the Stockfish app uses a 64bit version of the stockfish engine, it doesn’t use a more current version of the stockfish engine. And although SmallFish uses a more current version of stockfish, I’m not sure it uses a 64bit version of stockfish (can someone confirm this?).

Basically, I’m looking for the app that has analysis features and uses the strongest engine available on iOS. I wish Houdini or Komodo would develop something very soon for iOS. I feel like abandoning iOS (iPad and iPhone) and use android devices instead. I just rather take advantage of how powerful iOS devices are for chess.

Hi Leon

Have you tried Hiarcs?

Komodo has already come and gone on iOS with graphics reminiscent to the Sinclair Spectrum days.
